Orientation for the Hamyang-gun Residential Agricultural Startup Support Center

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Gyeongnam Hamyang-gun announced on the 10th that it held an orientation for about 30 enrolled students and about 40 attendees including Seo Chun-su, the mayor of Hamyang-gun, and other guests at the Stay-type Agricultural Startup Support Center (hereinafter referred to as the Center).

Before the outbreak of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the opening ceremony was held by inviting many guests, but this time it was held in a simplified orientation format while complying with social distancing guidelines.

The event proceeded in the order of Mayor Seo's greeting, self-introduction of enrolled students, explanation of the education operation direction, and election of a representative of the enrolled students.

The Stay-type Agricultural Startup Support Center has been directly operated by the county since 2018 to provide urban residents who wish to start agricultural businesses with accommodation space and agricultural education for a certain period to help them settle stably in rural areas.

The 4th class of enrolled students this time consists of 30 households and 50 people who, after paying a prescribed tuition fee, will reside in stay-type houses (20-pyeong type, 15-pyeong type) until November and participate in specialized education and practice for returning to farming and rural areas to nurture their dreams of farming.

The curriculum is composed of various programs such as understanding agriculture and rural life, crop cultivation, soil and crop cultivation management, and a tour to learn about Hamyang-gun, which has been very popular every year among those dreaming of returning to farming.

Mayor Seo said in his greeting, "I hope all students will take this opportunity to nurture their dreams of stable agricultural startups and settlement in clean Hamyang, and we will spare no support so that all enrolled students can settle in our county."

Students must attend more than 80% of the 206 hours of education scheduled until November to receive a certificate. Graduates of the program can benefit from preferential selection in various projects supported by the county.
